The Instax mini 99 camera is one of their most advanced yet you could say when it comes to features and comes in one colour only this time around which is odd however we are not complaining as we love all their old fashion styled cameras.
It is on the big side and differs from past cameras when it comes to how it is set up, there is no USB port on the camera so you charge with the little charge box provided that keeps your battery topped which you should do when not in use as these cameras do drain pretty fast especially if out on a shoot and you have plenty of film with you.
The most notable part of the camera is the lens like most of their cameras this twists open to turn on with 0.3-0.6m 0.3-3m and 3m and has a macro mode there is also a vignette setting on top of the lens. Also on front there is the flash and a shutter key.
The camera has two shutter keys this time around and can take photos in vertical or horizontal mode so this is kinda cool I think, There is also two dials this time around and this is where the new tech comes in with this camera, one controls the colours, you have several options here from FG WT LB SM SP and LL, the other dial controls the light with L+ to D- on it so this means you have two dials to compensate for that perfect picture and one giving Instagram like filters, inside the camera you can see how this works with the LED lights inside.

On the back of the camera you have the viewfinder battery compartment and an LCD display which is pretty neat. On the LCD display you have three options Mode, Self timer which is 10 seconds and Flash which has several options which is pretty self explanatory such as red eye and so on. Mode gives you indoor, sports, double exposure which means it blends two shots and finally bulb mode. This camera works quite well in low light.
Overall this camera is great to use whilst missing some features it has others, there is no selfie mirror so you aim and shoot at will here and I am not one to be posting selfies anyway but you can see the samples in the video review another option I felt odd was no charing on device but this is not really an issue, there is no app support like others in their range and other than that the rest is good with bulb mode for long exposure you have got vignette control with a wide lens a focus mode and sports mode which is ideally for those who are into sports.
There is times when some images are overcompensated or blown out but this has been an experience with me in general using these cameras and I am no expert but overall this is still a cool camera and their most advanced one yet with a fixed lens and looks cool even sitting on the table and after your friends or family see it they will want a photo of their own to take home and show off and get to play with all the new options on board.
various shots taken on the instax mini 99
INSTAX MINI 99 Product Features Include:

Technology has changed the business landscape and enabled anyone to start a company from the comfort of their residence. Whether you are looking for a job to supplement your income or replace your full-time career, there are many business ideas to consider. Finding a specialty that aligns with your interests, skills, or talents is essential to succeed. Starting a home-based business provides financial security, a good work-life balance, and increases productivity. If you have been looking for great ideas for your next start-up, here are ten profitable hustles you can launch from home.
1 – Virtual assistance
A virtual assistant helps business owners in the day-to-day running of their company by handling administrative tasks. While having previous experience as an executive assistant may not be necessary for this role, being tech-savvy and having certain specialized skills like bookkeeping will be beneficial. Your responsibilities in this role will not vary from that of an in-person aide. However, you will have the freedom to work autonomously and remotely. It is essential that you learn how to manage your time efficiently if you want to excel in this venture. To become a virtual assistant, you will need to familiarize yourself with the necessary software and build a portfolio. Registering on freelance work apps can also help you land a full-time or contract job. Ensure you advertise your projects and sharpen your interview skills to impress your employers.
2 – Catering business
Serving delicious food can be an endearing way to make people happy and make money. If you enjoy cooking, you can turn it into something more. The good news is you can start a catering business from the comfort of your home. However, before you embrace the thought, contact your area or state’s regulatory board to determine if you can do this. Next, draw a business plan. Having one will give you a detailed overview of your goals and the overhead cost involved. However, to attract customers, consider market research. Knowing what your competitors are selling will help you pick the right niche, draft a unique menu, and build your brand. Ensure your kitchen is up-to-date with the latest tools and equipment. Complying with the board’s hygienic laws and conditions would be best. Getting all the necessary permits and licenses will also protect your business from a shutdown. Once everything is in place, market your services online or host tastings to build your customer base.
3 – Dog grooming
Becoming a dog groomer can be satisfying, especially if you have a soft spot for canines. You can care for and engage with dogs of different breeds and sizes. While training might not be needed in certain locations, participating in an accredited course and gaining hands-on skills will give your business credibility and fill your clients with confidence. If you are not interested in a course, you can gather information or tips from other experienced groomers or tons of content online. Decide what kind of services you would like to offer beyond the basic care of bathing, drying, brushing, and clipping, and get the tools for them. To make pricing easier, offer packages and special treatments. Designate an area in your home and make it comfy with toys, treats, and equipment. Ensure you also get business insurance to protect your business in your care in case of unforeseen accidents.
4 – Start a blog
Blogging has been around for a long time and is a popular way to share information. Whether you are an expert on a subject matter or you love to write, blogging is creative and lucrative. Do you have extensive knowledge of cars? Are you passionate about the beauty industry? Garner an online audience with your posts and monetize your blog with sponsorships and affiliate links. Though you can gain considerable profit, knowing that growth won’t happen overnight is vital. You will need to put in the work to ensure your website ranks well and gets enough visitors to generate income, as emphasized by bizop. You might also need to learn new skills like website design. Explore free templates on design platforms and begin today.
5 – Home daycare business
Daycare is a gigantic industry, as many busy parents need a trustworthy childcare provider who will cater to their young ones while at work. If you have an educational background or experience in childcare, it might be time to get your license and start your own business. Examine your living space and renovate it to make it safe for infants and toddlers. Purchase kid-sized furniture and age-appropriate toys for entertainment. You can also get educational materials and high tables for meal times. Keep a first-aid kit handy for small accidents and ensure your outdoor area is conducive to outdoor activities. You can also join online communities and introduce yourself and the services you are offering. You can start with one child and work on building a solid reputation so other parents can entrust you with their wards.
6 – Sell online courses
In today’s digital world, anyone can easily access and learn a skill online. Capitalizing on your skills and creating a course can be a wonderful way to make passive income. There are various topics, but it is advisable to stick to something you are familiar with or proficient with. This gives you credibility as a master and demonstrates that you have invested considerable time in perfecting your skills. Starting an online class does not demand huge capital. You only need a camera, internet, course material, and a professional editor. However, it would be best if you validated the demand for your skill. It would be disappointing to spend weeks or months compiling your material only to realize there is no interest in it. One marketing strategy you can use to avoid this is pre-selling. This will help you compile a customer list and prevent you from wasting your time and money.
7 – Online dating coach
Are you a people person? Have you always had a knack for matchmaking or giving the best advice regarding relationships? Many single people are searching for true love, and navigating the dating scene alone can be overwhelming for them sometimes. You can offer your experience and knowledge to them for a fee through consulting. You can offer services such as helping them overcome love blocks, teaching communication skills, and fine-tuning their dating profiles. Pick a dating niche and develop your content around it. Do you want to help people overcome a breakup, or are you interested in helping them reach their fullest potential to get their desired partners? If you love the work of a particular agency, you can get a certification from them or get training and become one of their coaches. You can go further by sharing your insight on platforms like YouTube and offering your followers free and paid courses or coaching sessions.
8 – Dropshipping
You don’t need an inventory to sell anything with the dropshipping business model, which makes it appealing. All you need to do is show your customers your content, and when sales are confirmed, you contact the wholesale distributor to deliver. You act as the middle person and marketer while you make a profit off the resale markups. This business is low-cost as there is no inventory, and easy to start. Find a dropshipper who sells products at a reasonable price, register on an online marketplace like Amazon, build an ecommerce store, and resell the goods at your price for extra money.
9 – Professional photography
A photography business can be a beautiful path to explore. You get to capture beautiful moments and get paid for it. It is a remarkably evolving field; if you are passionate about it, you can make a name for yourself. First, you must sharpen your capturing skills and focus on one or two areas. It can be wedding photography or editorial shooting. Establishing your brand could take a while, so building a portfolio and starting small would be best. You can speak to your family and friends and ask them to allow you to cover their events for free. Create a profile on platforms like Instagram and showcase your work. You can also collaborate with other photographers on freelance gigs to gain popularity. Ensure you keep learning, and don’t hesitate to invest in the right equipment.
10 – Event planning business
If you consider yourself to be an organized person, you will surely flourish in this field. Milestones are celebrated every day, and there will always be a demand for planners. Most people don’t have the project management skills or time to assemble their dream event, so why not offer assistance at a fee? If you aren’t confident enough about the idea, experiment with family functions or church activities and acquire leadership skills. Determine your preferred business entity and get insurance for your rental properties and equipment. It is also essential to have good communication skills as it is the basis of this business.
Becoming your boss and attaining the freedom you desire begins with an idea. Choose one that resonates with you and start your entrepreneurial journey today.
The INSTAX Pal from FUJIFILM is the latest new gadget on offer and has been a huge hit in my house and with friends that have seen it, how it works is also really great and simple to use and you can connect to compatible printers from the brand too, not only that it also comes with a brand new app which is again simple to use and we go through this in full in the video review below which gives you an insight if you have not yet pulled the trigger on this tiny little camera which should be a gift on your Christmas list this year for sure.
Size is of the importance here and no you do not need to carry a printer with you unless you want to hand out snaps there and then which I guess has been the brands main points over the last few years since they were introduced, for me it is all about the size of the INSTAX cam which is tiny and mega portable and can be used remotely by your phone too via the app or use the shutter key on the rear which you can pre-record the shutter sounds if you wish to do so and you should sure why not the feature is there so avail of it and surprise the folks the other end of the camera.
Note compatible INSTAX – INSTAX mini Link, INSTAX mini Link2, INSTAX SQUARE Link and INSTAX Link WIDE smartphone printers.
The camera itself has simple functionality which is great to use, there is two apps you can use or just print directly from the Pal camera, you have main shutter button and you have a switch on the bottom showing F and L being Fun and Link you can also tilt the printer to change modes if you wish, we show you all this in the video review below. You can also add storage via micro SD card or store locally.

INSTAX PAL camera – techbuzzireland
With the apps you can get super creative and create slides and videos add text, colour, design and much more which is what I like most here and it does more than just print images, this has been present before so if you are familiar with these cameras you know the story if you are creative you can get creative with what is on offer, again see the video and samples if you are not familiar with the options at your fingertips here.
I am by no means a professional photographer nor ever claimed to be but the camera takes nice pictures which you will see on your smartphone the prints may not reflect this at all times but it is best used in brighter scenarios there is also a flash on the PAl camera which helps the situation though and in short it is about fun here and simplicity and most importantly having a photo there and then in your hand as I always say with INSTAX printers and cameras, as mentioned you don’t need to carry the printer as the images taken will transfer across anyway you can save them for later on though after being out testing it is best to have it with you and have prints at the ready be it for family or friends in the office or at home.

Drones are rapidly gaining in popularity because they are some of the most exciting tech that you can find in the video world today. They have the ability to capture aerial footage as well as perform tasks that were impossible or expensive to do. People use drones for a variety of reasons, and it’s not just something to be used for business either. Drones can be used for videography and photography, which is making the online visual world blow up. If people are able to use drones for videography, then they can sell their marketing skills on social media and they can become influencers, which is a growing popularity and growing trend.
With all of these advancements in technology, drones have also become much more accessible to those who are just regular folks looking to start a new hobby. With models such as the Mini 4 on display, hobbyists and enthusiasts who enjoy flying and exploring the world from another angle are really starting to gain some exciting options. But what else can drones be used for?Here are the top ways that we believe drones can be used.
Aerial photography and videography. You might have seen wedding planners, real estate agents and even amateurs using drones for aerial photography and videography. It’s one of the most common uses, and for those who are looking at land planning, a drone is actually one of the easiest ways to do it. With the help of a drone, you’re able to capture hugely sweeping landscapes and dramatic cityscapes, which is so helpful in photography. If you want to get close to wildlife but you’re a bit nervous about being eaten, then you’ll find that a drone is there to help. If you are trying to capture some challenging footage in a dangerous environment, then a drone is able to go where you can’t, and that becomes a valuable tool for an emergency responder or a journalist.
In agriculture. Did you know that drones are currently revolutionizing the agriculture industry? With the help that they give to farmers, drones are imperative in optimizing crop production, increasing yields and reducing farming costs. Drones are able to help farmers to gather data on their crops and make better informed decisions when it comes to using their land. One of the biggest ways that drones are used in agriculture is through aerial imaging as we already mentioned. With aerial imaging, high resolution cameras are flown over fields and they can identify the health of the crops as well as detect early signs of disease. It’s also so helpful for monitoring animals and crop growth during the growing season. In addition to this, drones are also being used with spraying pesticides and fertilizers. Some of the bigger drones are able to carry heavy loads to do this.
Inspections and maintenance. In the real estate and building industries, drones are increasingly being used for infrastructural inspections. This is a cost effective and more efficient way to ensure that bridges, buildings and power lines are being built effectively and safely. Bridge inspections are important for companies and councils, and the Department of Transportation in Minnesota, for example, has been using drones since 2015. The high resolution cameras that the drones are equipped with are able to capture detailed images of any issues that need to be maintained.
In security. Did you know that drones are transforming the field of surveillance with an aerial perspective that was once unattainable and too expensive? Drones are able to continue to capture high quality footage and gather the data necessary to ensure that enforcement and military get the intelligence they need.drones are able to reach inaccessible areas and these inaccessible areas could never be previously reached by the traditional methods on foot.
For deliveries. Drones have been road tested with Uber and Deliveroo, and they’ve become increasingly popular for a wide range of delivery services. Companies such as Google and Amazon are testing drone delivery services for smaller packages that are easier to navigate. Delivery drones are not particularly big, and they are unmanned, which means that they can be programmed to fly to specific locations to drop off small packages. They are equipped with the right GPS and cameras which ensure that they can be located and returned.
Research. Another exciting way that drones can be used is in research, because science needs more help and more monitoring. Drones have the ability to offer scientists a unique look into data from remote locations. This means that gathering data on environmental conditions and wildlife has become easier. This is especially important for wildlife research, where populations in dense areas are being closely watched to see how they behave. Researchers can add cameras to drones that allow them to capture high quality images that would be previously impossible to maintain.
Monitoring environmental conditions With the help of drones, researchers can collect data on temperature and wind speed, as well as other environmental factors, by attaching special sensors to those drones. This data then can be used to accurately study climate changes and weather patterns, and it can also tell us what pollution is doing to our planet. Alongside this, drones are being used to study geological features such as glaciers and volcanoes, so that we understand how it helps and hurts our environment. Drones can be used to measure the temperature of volcanic lava, or study how glaciers are melting and at which speed.
In journalism. Drones are completely transforming the journalism world because the way that journalists report news is changing. With drones, there is a unique perspective that was once unavailable to journalists. And whether you’re looking at live journalism happening in the moment or you’re looking at journalism that pinpoints something happening where everybody needs to know what’s going on, the high quality footage that can be captured by drones is something that has made them an invaluable tool for news organizations.
In real estate, real estate agents are using drones to capture footage and images of properties so that they can make their sales. With the right footage and videography, houses become more desirable and real estate agents are seen as being ahead of the trends with the correct software. The real estate industry is in tatters right now because real estate agents are not getting a great name and people are struggling to find rentals with amped up adverts that include video footage. With the help of drones, real estate agents are better positioned to sell and to let their properties. Homeowners can also use drones to capture imagery and video that will show the property at its best.
Of course, these industries are not the only ones where drones are able to show off a little, the possibilities do not end there because the technology is advancing and drones are changing. Even as they are released to the public, more are being created. Drones have the ability to revolutionize industries across the board as well as unlocking new opportunities that include. Expertly designed software businesses can streamline their operations and general folk on the street are able to amp up their hobbies.The customized technology solutions ensure that the transformation of using drones from video cameras are going to be huge. Drones are a gamechanger and if you are looking to buy yours, don’t forget to do your research so that you get the very best!
Artisse Interactive, a trailblazing technology company founded by William Wu, has announced the launch of its mobile application, Artisse, which is described as the photography industry’s largest disruption in over a decade.
The last major advancement in the photography industry dates to 2011 when mobile editing apps were initially released. Fast forward to 2023, Artisse is part of the explosion of AI-generated apps, dubbed the “AI generative era.”
The application operates as a generative image platform used to create hyper realistic self-photos in any setting, posture, or expression.
It is thoughtfully crafted to cater to diverse users, seamlessly meeting the needs of individuals seeking to create stunning, professional-grade photos for their social media profiles, and providing businesses with expertly crafted advertisement images.
Changing lives
Unlike other giants of the industry, Artisse is a proud bootstrap operation and independent venture built from the ground up with a highly diverse team. It has a strong female presence across the team, including an all-female team in China. A tribute to this plucky company’s success is that it has spread around the world, covering every continent and major language region.
This incredible team has made sure the app embodies the personal stories of people everywhere. Not everyone has the opportunity to visit the pyramids of Egypt or travel to a tropical island for a corporate retreat.
Now, however, people can be the authors of their personal stories. Become the adventurer you always wanted to be. Swim with dolphins, trek across the arctic circle, or dance among the rings of Saturn. All from the comfort of your own home.
Use cases like these resonate deeply with the team at Artisse and fuel their desire to enhance lives through the power of AI photography.
CEO William Wu says, “Personal photos serve as life’s most cherished language – a universal way to preserve moments, express our unique perspectives, and help us stay connected and make friends. Every day, we take more than 2.3 billion photos across the globe. Yet, the process of capturing the perfect shot remains complex, time-consuming, and out of reach for many. We want to make beautiful photography accessible to everyone.”
Global localization
Artisse has localized language support for 35 languages covering all major geographies including major Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, areas where AI-powered photo applications have already experienced substantial adoption.

With cutting-edge technology constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, photographers now have an array of tools and techniques at their disposal to take their craft to new heights. From high-resolution sensors to drone photography, here are four ways in which you can harness the power of cutting-edge technology to transform your photography and capture stunning images that will leave viewers in awe.
Drone Photography
Drones have revolutionized aerial photography, providing photographers with a bird’s-eye view of the world. These unmanned aircraft allow you to capture breathtaking images from angles and perspectives that were once only possible from helicopters or airplanes. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, Horizon Imagings drone photography can capture stunning vistas, sweeping landscapes, and architectural marvels from above. The ability to maneuver these small flying machines with precision gives you unparalleled creative control, enabling you to experiment with composition, lighting, and framing. Whether you’re shooting nature, cityscapes, or events, incorporating drone photography into your repertoire can take your work to new heights, quite literally.
High-Resolution Sensors and Cameras
One of the most significant advancements in photography technology is the development of high-resolution sensors and cameras. These devices allow photographers to capture an astonishing level of detail and clarity in their images. With resolutions reaching 40 or even 50 megapixels, every nuance and texture can be faithfully reproduced. This level of detail opens up new creative possibilities, whether you’re photographing landscapes, portraits, or still life. The sharpness and depth offered by high-resolution sensors enable you to zoom in, crop, and explore your images in ways previously unimaginable, allowing you to uncover hidden gems within your shots.
Advanced Editing Software
Post-processing has always been an essential part of photography, but with the advent of advanced editing software, the possibilities for enhancing your images are endless. Modern editing tools like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop offer a wide range of features that can transform your photographs. From adjusting exposure and colors to removing unwanted elements and enhancing details, these software programs give you unprecedented control over the final look of your images. Additionally, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the development of automated editing tools that can intelligently enhance your photos with just a few clicks. With the right skills and a keen eye for aesthetics, these editing software tools can elevate your photography game and help you achieve your creative vision.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
As technology continues to evolve, the lines between the physical and digital worlds become increasingly blurred. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are now being used to enhance the photography experience in ways never before imagined. AR apps allow you to overlay digital elements in the real world, creating captivating and immersive visual experiences. With VR, you can transport viewers into a completely different reality, where they can explore your photographs in a three-dimensional space. By embracing these emerging technologies, photographers can push the boundaries of storytelling and create truly unique and engaging visual narratives that captivate audiences.
In a world where technology is constantly advancing, photographers have an incredible opportunity to elevate their craft and create images that leave a lasting impression. By harnessing the power of high-resolution sensors, drones, advanced editing software, and emerging technologies like AR and VR, the possibilities for capturing breathtaking photographs are limitless. Embrace the cutting-edge tools available to you, experiment with new techniques, and let your creativity soar.
I am a huge fan of Instax cameras and some might see it as a niche thing which is fine and due to how powerful our smartphones are today the sales of cameras have dropped over the years but there is still a market out there for all things camera and including retro cameras like Instax from FUJIFILM.
OK OK I say it every time an Instax camera comes in for a review “do you remember when we used to take photos with disposable cameras and so on or even your DSLRs etc and go get them sent off and you could not wait to get the envelope stuff with photos back?” Well do you? Have you changed or picked up a camera from Instax and actually tried to bring back how things used to be like all the retro tech we now are seeing more of?
The latest offering from the company the Mini 12 instant camera is not what I expected at first glance when it comes to the tech side of things using their app and probably because they launched a new app called the Instax Up app the same day which we will review another day but unlike previous cameras this does not require an app to use it to edit photos etc it is just a simple point and shoot camera, with the Instax app you can scan INSTAX prints and store them digitally in one place, Organize photos by category/list views for easy locating, Easily share stored photos and collections via social media or text, Import photos from other INSTAX apps (INSTAX mini LINK, INSTAX Link WIDE etc.) into the INSTAX Up. There is no app for this camera however we are testing today which I thought initially there was and this might make the case for making things easier if you look at it another way.
On testing this camera I found it is ideal for the selfie fan which myself is not someone who posts the likes on a daily basis and it does well mostly so on outdoors and takes decent images as you will see in the video review below, it is on the bulky side however these cameras always have been and certainly will be a talking point when you take it out to get some photos you can hold in your hand.
